Trump, the President of another country is responsible for everything happening to Canada.

Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada is not responsible for anything happening to Canada.

Do you see how stupid that sounds?

[NyanChuu🔮🇯🇵🍭 @tanpukunokami]

I heard some Islamic countries are criticizing Japan.

So let me ask one simple question.

If I went to your country and started demanding:

“Serve pork in school lunches.”
“Let us drink alcohol freely.”
“Build crematoriums for Japanese people.”

Wouldn’t that make you angry?

Of course it would.

Every country has its own culture.
Its own religion.
Its own rules and way of life.

Japan is no different.

So why do some people demand things in Japan that they would never accept in their own country?

I don’t go to Islamic countries, because I know their culture doesn’t fit me.

And that’s exactly why I believe people should respect the country they choose to live in.

The musty wet-rag smell on damp clothes is bacteria. A bug called Moraxella osloensis lives on your skin, gets onto fabric every time you wash, and once that fabric stays damp past 4 hours, it starts doubling. What you're smelling is the acid it leaves behind as waste.

Japanese researchers at Moriyama University figured this out in 2012. They counted 10 times more of this bug on smelly towels than on clean ones. It survives any wash below 60°C, or 140°F. Most people wash much cooler.

The fungi behind athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch also live on damp clothes. A 2010 paper from the Hohenstein Institutes in Germany found that about 10% of the infectious material jumps from a contaminated piece of clothing to a clean one just by sitting in the same laundry basket. And wet fabric passes 200 times more bacteria to your skin than dry fabric.

Then there's the air. One wet load of laundry releases about 2 litres of water, around half a gallon, into the room. The UK's Centre for Sustainable Energy ran the numbers: drying one load in a small bedroom, around 10 by 10 feet, pushes humidity to roughly 96%. A tropical rainforest sits between 77 and 88%. Mould starts growing at 60%.

The fungus that loves these conditions is Aspergillus fumigatus. Professor David Denning at the National Aspergillosis Centre in Manchester has treated patients who developed a chronic lung infection from inhaling spores that grew in bedrooms where wet laundry was drying on the radiator. His team estimates 87% of UK homes dry their clothes indoors during winter.

So a shirt that didn't quite dry has live bacteria still multiplying on it. The air around it is wetter than a rainforest. And the fungi growing in that air are the same ones hospitals treat for invasive lung infections.

Your washing machine cleans the dirt. Your dryer kills the bugs.

Beware the empathy exploit.

Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow).

For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.

[TMK @themagaking]

It’s actually interesting that Elon Musk is the richest man in the world and still carries himself like the awkward little kid at lunch who doesn’t know where to sit. Most rich powerful men walk into rooms with entourages acting like superstars wanting everyone to look at them. Elon walks in looking like a fish out of water at the wrong party wondering why he even showed up while probably thinking about self driving algorithms while everyone else is socializing. There’s something weirdly real and endearing about it, like all the fame and attention just feels unnecessary to him.

AOC vient d'expliquer qu'on ne peut pas "gagner" un milliard de dollars. Que c'est mathématiquement impossible. Que tout milliardaire est forcément un voleur, un abuseur de lois du travail, un payeur sous-évalué.

Ce niveau d'ignorance économique de la part d'une élue qui légifère sur l'économie devrait nous faire hurler.

Reprenons depuis le début, parce qu'apparemment c'est nécessaire.

Un milliardaire n'est pas quelqu'un qui a un milliard de dollars en cash sur son compte. Un milliardaire est quelqu'un dont le marché évalue les actifs (principalement des parts d'entreprise) à un milliard ou plus.

Elon Musk n'a pas "pris" 800 milliards à quelqu'un. Il a créé Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Le marché évalue ces entreprises à plusieurs trillions cumulés. Il en détient une fraction. C'est ça, sa "fortune".

La question fondamentale qu'AOC ne se pose jamais : d'où vient la valeur ?

La valeur n'est pas un gâteau fixe qu'on se partage. La valeur est créée. Quand SpaceX divise par 10 le coût du lancement orbital, ce n'est pas du vol, c'est de la création pure. Avant Musk, lancer un kilo en orbite coûtait 50K$. Aujourd'hui 1.5K$.

Cette création de valeur est mesurable, vérifiable, et bénéficie à toute l'humanité. L'internet par satellite couvre des zones que les États ont été incapables de connecter en 50 ans. Les voitures électriques ont forcé toute l'industrie auto à se réinventer.

Maintenant, la question centrale qu'AOC évite soigneusement : qui devrait allouer les ressources dans une société ?

Parce que l'argent, fondamentalement, c'est ça. Un signal d'allocation. Décider où va le capital, le travail, l'énergie, le temps humain.

Trois options historiques :

L'État (bureaucrates élus ou nommés)

Les comités citoyens (démocratie directe)
Les entrepreneurs qui ont prouvé leur capacité d'allocation par leurs résultats
L'option 1 a été testée massivement au 20ème siècle. URSS, Chine maoïste, Venezuela, Cuba, Corée du Nord. Résultat : famines, pénuries, effondrement. Des dizaines de millions de morts. L'allocation étatique est un désastre empirique total.

L'option 2 n'a jamais existé à grande échelle pour des raisons mathématiques. Le calcul économique nécessaire pour allouer les ressources d'une économie moderne dépasse les capacités cognitives d'une assemblée. Hayek l'avait démontré dès 1945 (The Use of Knowledge in Society).

L'option 3, c'est le marché. Et le marché récompense ceux qui allouent bien. Ceux qui allouent mal font faillite, perdent leur capital, sortent du jeu. Les survivants sont par sélection darwinienne les meilleurs allocateurs disponibles.

Elon Musk est riche parce qu'il a prouvé, sur 25 ans, qu'il alloue mieux le capital que 99.9999% de l'humanité. PayPal. Tesla. SpaceX. Starlink. Chaque fois, il a pris du capital et l'a transformé en infrastructure civilisationnelle.

La vraie question n'est pas "pourquoi Musk a tant", c'est : "pourquoi n'a-t-il pas plus ?"

Sérieusement. Si on veut maximiser la création de valeur pour l'humanité, on devrait vouloir que les meilleurs allocateurs aient accès à plus de capital, pas moins.

Donner 100 milliards à AOC pour qu'elle les redistribue selon sa vision morale, c'est garantir leur destruction. Donner 100 milliards à Musk, c'est probablement obtenir des bases martiennes, de l'énergie quasi-gratuite, et une révolution robotique.

Le préjugé d'AOC, c'est que la richesse est un péché moral. C'est une vision théologique, pas économique. Elle traite le capital comme un stock à confisquer, pas comme un flux à orienter vers les usages les plus productifs.

Et c'est là que sa thèse devient grotesque : "vous payez les gens moins que ce qu'ils valent."

Définition de "ce qu'ils valent" selon AOC : ce qu'AOC pense qu'ils devraient toucher. Définition selon le marché : ce qu'un autre employeur est prêt à leur offrir.

Si Tesla payait ses ingénieurs en dessous de leur valeur, ces ingénieurs partiraient chez Google, Apple, Meta. Ils restent. Donc la rémunération est compétitive. Mécanisme de base que tout étudiant en L1 d'éco comprend.
Le pattern fondamental : AOC, et toute la classe politique qui pense comme elle, n'a jamais alloué une seule ressource productive de sa vie. Jamais embauché en assumant le risque salarial. Jamais investi son capital dans un projet incertain. Jamais créé une entreprise qui survit.

Et pourtant elle veut décider qui peut posséder quoi.

C'est l'équivalent de quelqu'un qui n'a jamais joué aux échecs voulant arbitrer un tournoi de grands maîtres en réécrivant les règles à mi-partie.

Ce qui est triste, c'est que cette vision a un coût massif. Chaque fois qu'on taxe les meilleurs allocateurs, on détourne du capital de ses usages productifs vers des usages politiques (subventions, clientélisme, projets vanity étatiques).

La France en sait quelque chose. 50 ans de redistribution, ISF, exit tax, taxe à 75%. Résultat : zéro géant tech, fuite des cerveaux, dette à 113% du PIB, croissance atone.

AOC veut nous vendre le même poison en plus grand format.

La conclusion est inconfortable mais nécessaire : nous avons besoin de plus de milliardaires, pas moins. Plus d'allocateurs prouvés. Plus de capital concentré entre les mains de ceux qui ont démontré qu'ils savent le faire fructifier pour l'humanité.

Et nous avons besoin de moins d'AOC. Moins de gens qui n'ont rien construit, qui n'ont rien risqué, qui n'ont rien créé, mais qui veulent décider à la place de ceux qui font.

Le mythe ce n'est pas "le mythe d'avoir mérité son milliard". Le mythe c'est qu'une députée de 36 ans qui n'a jamais géré un budget supérieur à son staff parlementaire ait la moindre légitimité à théoriser sur l'allocation du capital mondial.

[Kevin | Large Fam Dad @LargeFamDad]

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.

Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.

Great guy, I'm happy for him.

But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.

What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.

Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.

Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.

Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.

Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.

Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.

Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.

-----------------

When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.

Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

自分はこれを見越して、とにかく子供達には早くから自由にSwitchやPS4、PS5のゲームを遊ばせていた。受動的なショート動画等の消費ではなく、ガチャなどの射倖心ではなく、能動的で創造的な遊びを楽しめる土台を作ってあげたかったからだ。特に4〜10歳くらいの子供にとって、ゲームはプラス要因しかない。

我が家では、動画の視聴時間は厳しく制限するが、宿題さえしていれば、ゲームのプレイ時間に制限を設けていない（22時以降は禁止だが）。

ゲーム機には常に、自分が厳選した王道のゲームを遊び放題にしておいたし、子供が強く欲しがるゲームは全て買っている。ボードゲームもわりと遊ぶ。
文化教育における親の役割は、王道の名作を体験させ、同時代的なヒット作にも触れさせてあげることだと思う。これらは、親側にもエンタメの素養がないとなかなか難しい。
邪道や偏った性癖の刺激的なメタ作品は、思春期になれば勝手に選んで楽しむので、親しみやすい名作を若い時に素養として体験させておくことが重要だ。年齢制限も、それぞれの子供の特徴に合わせ、親がコンテンツの内容を理解した上で解禁している。

その結果、長男は5歳でゼルダブレワイをクリア、小1で「はじめてゲームプログラミング」で見事なゲームを完成させ、小5でフロムゲーをトロコンしている。小2の次男はマリオとマイクラとポケモンが大好き。難ステージに何度も挑戦してアストロボットもクリアしている。今はぽこあポケモンに夢中だ。三男も、スプラのヒーローモードを4歳でほぼクリアしていたし（異常にエイムが上手い）、今はマイクラに夢中だ。

ゲームを通じて、難しい言葉を覚えたり、数値管理をしたり、空間認識をしたり、飽きずに難題にくらいついたり、仲間と歩調を合わせたり分担するなどして協力したり、段階を踏んで計画的にミッションに取り組むという力が育っている。これらは、ゲーム以外には、スポーツや学校の委員会や課外活動などでしか身につかない。当然、ショート動画を見てるだけで身につくものではない。

また、彼らはマンガも小説も好きだ。何かひとつのジャンルを極めると、お約束を覚えてエンタメ全般も楽しめるようになる。もちろん、外遊びやスポーツも好きだ。
結局、難題に挑戦して克服したり、知的好奇心を満たすことで脳内麻薬を分泌させて快感を得る習慣こそが、人生を豊かにすると思う。特にAIがあらゆる仕事を代替していく、この先の未来では。

また、手軽にドーパミンを分泌させる構造を持つエンタメにも、注意をしつつ最低限は触れさせるべき。それらを親の権限で完全に禁止にしたとしても、思春期以降に反動が出るので。適度に触れさせて、免疫をつけておくのも大事。あとは、子供の興味関心や趣味嗜好を尊重し、笑ったり批判したりしないこと。あとは、親の趣味を押し付けないことも大事。本棚に置いておくくらいでいいと思う。

[The Heretical Liberal 🇨🇦 @Rob_ThaBuilder]

The plight of Indigenous Women in Canada is such a perfect example of how modern Leftist thought has no ability to think past 1st order effects and why its all about feeling virtuous over actually solving problems.

We often hear about "murdered and missing indigenous women" and how they get killed at much higher rates than other Canadians, and that these women rarely get justice. The subtext is always that, somehow, the reason for this injustice is some mix of "colonization", "the patriarchy " or "white supremacy". We often hear how bad society is because of this, and how we need to "do better", "check our privilege", and that this is somehow a failing of all of society.

Now at the same time, there has long been a push to address indigenous overrepresenation in prisons, and the solution the Leftists have landed on is the Gladue Rule becoming embedded in the justice system, which requires the court to consider the effects of residential schooling, racism and other factors when deciding sentencing on indigenous ppl found guilty of crimes. In theory, this could be considered an admirable attempt. In practice, what it means is simply that indigenous ppl who commit crimes will almost always be sentenced to significantly less time than anyone else.

But heres the kicker; between 70-80% of murdered and missing indigenous women are killed by Indigenous men. And then these men are giving ridiculously light sentencing BECAUSE they're indigenous, denying the victims justice. The Crown in this story asked for 16 years for this man shooting his wife in her sleep. He was given 6 years, he'll serve 3.

So the injustice against Indigenous women is in large part CAUSED by Leftist attempt to address it. Its a classic example of modern Leftism being so far up their own asses they're pontificating to the rest of society about a problem that THEY THEMSELVES are causing.

Modern Leftism is not capable of solving actual social problems, it's simply a way for privileged bourgeoisie white liberals to virtue signal about their moral goodness at cocktail parties while the marginalized ppl they claim to champion continue to bear the brunt of their shallow and superficial political activism.

Canada is cooked

[goma @soigomaa]

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.

[AJAC @AJA_Cortes]

Low IQ, anti social behavioral traits and lax enforcement of behavioral standards leads to crime

Crime is easily solvable.

You brutally punish people who do it.

You cannot make people implicitly more moral.

You make the cost of bad behavior painfully high

[Slim @onu_slim]

The scariest age for a man is 37.

Not because something dramatic happens that day, but because many realities begin to collide at the same time.

At 37, life stops feeling theoretical. The dreams you had in your twenties are now being measured against the reality you have built so far. Some men feel proud of their progress. Others quietly begin asking themselves uncomfortable questions.

By this age, responsibilities are usually heavy. Career pressure is real, family expectations may be rising, children may depend on you, and financial decisions suddenly carry more weight than they did before.

Another subtle thing happens around this age. You begin to notice your parents aging. The people who once looked strong and permanent start showing signs of slowing down. It reminds you that time is not standing still for anyone.

At the same time, you start realizing that your energy is no longer unlimited. The reckless optimism of youth begins to fade, and decisions must become more intentional.

For many men, 37 becomes a moment of reflection. A point where they either double down on building the life they want or drift into routines that slowly define the rest of their years.

The scary part is not the age itself.

It is the clarity that suddenly arrives with it.

[OveralledFolksKell @BlueCollarKell]

My parents winter in Puerto Vallarta. Have for years.

They are currently barricaded in their condo, the military keeping rebels from entering their property.

They have food and power, and have taken in 2 women who were stranded.

The street below, usually buzzing with life, is silent, apart from the odd car that drives thru. Those people driving are not brave. They are stupid. They are surrounded by rebels, beaten, their cars lit on fire.

The Canadian consulate is unavailable. They are getting their information from social media and gov't websites. They are sheltering in place and say they are safe. They have not heard gunfire. We are praying the internet does not go dark.

Canada will not be saving my parents or any other Canadians

You can keep your elbows up, pay your excessive a taxes, mutilate your children, MAiD your elderly, bash America---and viciously mock their president because CBC told you to.

The reality is, when my parents come home safe, it will be by the grace of God and the determination and heroics of America. Canada won't do anything, because it can't

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

God Blessed America ❤️🇺🇲
